Musket balls from first major battle of revolutionary war found near Boston
“The latest evidence of that firefight is five musket balls dug up last year near the North Bridge site in the Minute Man national historical park in Concord. Early analysis of the balls – gray with sizes ranging from a pea to a marble – indicates colonial militia members fired them at British forces on 19 April 1775.”

Discovering the North: Francesco Negri’s and Giuseppe Acerbi’s journeys to Norway in the 17th and 18th centuries
“Their narratives provide valuable insights into the cultural and societal landscape of the North during their time, illuminating a region largely undiscovered by other European travellers. By documenting their experiences and observations, Negri and Acerbi contribute to a broader understanding of Northern Europe, challenging prevailing narratives.”

How a brawl in 18th-century Constantinople changed what we know about the Vikings
"Ibn Fadlan’s first-hand account of the Rus and their funerary rituals has secured his reputation as an important source for the study of ritual and belief across the Viking world. Nowhere else do we encounter eyewitness insight into this kind of Viking funerary ritual."

"Leading up to the War of American Independence, a debate began in the Dutch Republic on how neutrality could be advantageously defined to promote commerce without becoming involved in wars of ‘entangling alliances'. The actors in this debate would produce arguments that were later adopted by members of George Washington’s cabinet."

"Left out from history are the attempts of the founders to force Britain to return thousands of escapees from slavery they sheltered. Patriot state leaders tried to coerce the return of all fugitives from slavery evacuated with the British army by blocking payment of debts to England in violation of the Treaty of Paris. Such actions ultimately caused the breakdown of the agreement and exposed the structural inability of the Congress to enforce the terms of a duly ratified treaty over intransigent states."
